10 Delete a predetermined set of scalars Julia May 18 -lana decided all scalars would stay in ontology!
11 Extract Lex-Maps and Concepts affected by deleted Scalars  Julia May 18 -N/A
12 Transfer a predefined list of former Literals to Scalars. In Scalars, check and edit slots: Definition, IS-A, Domain, Range. Add a new Measured-in slot where necessary. Delete Measuring-unit facet. Julia Svetlana -May 18, 19 -moved concepts from literal to scalar branch, see  CLEANING CONCEPTS list below.
13 Check and, if necessary, edit Definition, IS-A, Domain and Range slots in Literal attributes.

Check and, if necessary, edit Definition, IS-A, Domain and Range slots in  scalar attributes.

5th

-checked all domain and range slot fillers in literal that remain,
 

-checked all domain and range and IS-A slots in scalar branch, see EDITED CONCEPTS below.

_continue to check scalar-physical-objects, and scalar-social-objects
 
 

-check scalar-physical-objects, see EDITED CONCEPTS JUNE 3 below
 
 

-check scalar-social-object, see EDITED CONCEPTS JUNE 5 below

 

14 Delete a predetermined set of Relations Julia - -pending lana decision to delete
15 Extract Lex-Maps and Concepts affected by deleted Relations  Julia - -pending lanas decision to delete
16 Delete a set of given Objects Julia Victor, Svetlana - -pending
17 Extract Lex-Maps affected by deleted Objects Julia - -pending 
18 Delete a predetermined set of Events Julia Victor, Svetlana - -pending

Julia Svetlana - -pending 
21 Check whether Object and Event children concepts are linked to the right parent. Check inheritance. Hamid, Svetlana May, 12 May 31: Mark set up my write permission for this page.

OBJECTS
According to Spencer's count, there are 4294 Object concepts in the Ontology. I have edited and made notes for discussions up to the INANIMATE/ARTIFACT. I also deleted some concepts based on Svetlana and Sergei's suggestions. 

June 1 & 2: Continued working on the object concepts. Got a list of RELIGION concepts from Wanying and Hyopil and am adding them to the Ontology.

June 5: stopped adding the RELIGION concepts and continued editing the OBJECT concepts (See notes in /home/hamid/ontology/object/task1_objects.fm) 

June 6: continued reviewing/editing the object concepts

June 7: continued reviweing/editing the object concepts 

22 Reorder Object and Event branches of the tree: edit Definition and IS-A slots. Block inheritance if necessary. Add properties for the concepts extracted at Step 7 to make these concepts different from their siblings and parents. Try to use properties present in the ontology. If more properties are needed discuss them with Svetlana or Victor. Check property fillers, edit if necessary. Do not do Events and Objects to be deleted. Consult Julia for lists of such concepts if they are not yet deleted.

Hamid Svetlana - June 5-Based on our talks in our last meeting, I am doing this task as I am working on my task 21. I will start working on the Step 7 task after I am done with Objects and Events.

General consideration: attempt to relate all literals through objects and events.
Delete most of literals (see the print-out)

Lexicon hints:

e. put new slot 'EXCHANGE-RATE' with the fillers of 'sem MONETARY-UNIT, Relation-value >0'
2. EXCHANGE-RATE
a. delete this under SCALAR-ATRRIBUTE
b. create new EXCHANGE-RATE under MEASUREMENT-RELATION
 
 

<may 25,26> Julia:
<MAY 26>FRIDAY
CHECK ALL SCALAR-ATTRIBUTE DOMAIN, RANGE , IS-A, AND DFN.

FINAL-VALUE
changed the range from concept: ANY-NUMBER to scalar: (-, +)
PROBLEM: would not accept change from SEM to VALUE
 

INTITIAL-VALUE
changed the range from concept: ANY-NUMBER to scalar: (-, +)
PROBLEM: would not accept change from SEM to VALUE

AGE
added relation: MEASURED-IN range TEMPORAL-UNIT

ADD *MEASURED-IN* RELATION TO:
AGE
QUOTA
 

<MAY 28>SUNDAY<julia>
OPEN THE DOMAIN OF CONCEPT ENDURANCE FROM ANIMAL TO OBJECT

OPEN THE DOMAIN OF CONCEPT HARSHNESS TO EVENT AND OBJECT

MOVE THE CONCEPT EFFICIENCY TO SCALAR-ATTRIBUTE TO CONTAIN BOTH EVENT
AND OBJECT IN DOMAIN.

<MAY 30>Julia
CONTINUE TO CHECK SCALAR-BRANCHES DOMAIN, RANGE AND DFN.:

<sat., may 27, Julia>
SEND BUG REPORTS FOR:

BUGS: COULD NOT TRANSMIT PAGEANTRY TO APPLICATION

QUESTIONS: SHOULD CONCEPTS STABILITY, VALIDITY, AND VIOLENCE-ATTRIBUTE
APPLY TO DOMAIN EVENT?
 

Svetlana:, Jan,18.00

1."instance" slots are inherited;
done
2. multiple facet fillers are inherited from all upper level concepts, not always correct;

3. country name frames are concepts, should be facts(instances);
done
4 "instance" slots are called "concepts".
done
 
 

Svetlana: Problems, Jan,20

Back to the top  Svetlana: Tasks

1. cancel the inheritance of "instance" slots (Spencer);
done
2. rename "instance" frames (Spencer);
done
3. cancel inheritance for "instances" (Spencer);
done
4. determine fillers of which slots should be shadowed/accumulative (Svetlana);

5. change inheritance for shadowed fillers (inherit only the closest filler)(Spencer)

6. determine the set of slots for country "instances", use http://www.cia.gov (Svetlana, Hyopil);
done
7. check which of these slots are already slots (concepts) in the ontology. Try to find as many slot matches as possible. If no match can be found consider creation of a new slot and a new concept with this slot name (Svetlana, Hyopil);
done
8. create new concept frames for those slots (Hyopil);

9. modify/create instance/fact frames for countries (Hyopil);

10.find other problems (Svetlana). Svetlana: Tasks, Jan,20

1. In INSTANCE country frames

2. CONCEPTS Back to the top

ACQUISITION

New Concepts

Hyopil: Concepts added for Fact database slots (5/25) --> /home/crest/hshin/fact/data/missingSlotFrame Change 'HAS-MEMBER' to 'HAS-ETHNIC-GROUP'. Also changed in data file. (5/26)

New Facts

Hyopil: Acquired concepts for country are primarily cleaned. (5/26) --> /home/crest/hshin/fact/data/ConceptMissingClean. Start it over for checking wanying's acquisition.
